How to create data flow diagrams using Java

Question

I'm an engineering student; I studied dataflow graphs. I already made parser using Antlr, but I don't know how to make dataflow diagrams. I read some paper that one can make dataflow graphs using Java. Please help me.

What is it you really want to do? What are you parsing (Java source code, or code for something else [what?]). Are you trying to produce dataflow graphs for Java, or dataflow graphs for the something else? Can you provide an example of input and output? — Ira Baxter

If your problem is producing a data flow graph from a parsed procedural language, a parser isn't enough; you need other analysis machinery. See semanticdesigns.com/Products/DMS/LifeAfterParsing.html. The question is where do you get all the stuff-beyond-parsing that you need to do this? If what you are parsing represents the dataflow graph directly, then its merely a matter of building nodes and linking them together with dataflow arcs. — Ira Baxter

JGraph may be used for this, as discussed in review article.

The NetBeans Visual Library can be used for this:

You don't need to build a NetBeans platform application (or even use NetBeans) in order to use it: http://java.dzone.com/news/how-create-visual-applications
